[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 276793, member: 1514"] I watched the show last night too. I started noticing last season that something felt not quite right between John and Kate. There was just something in the chemistry that felt like something was simmering. When John was interviewed for the show last night he said some things that made a whole lot of sense to me. Things about how while he adored his kids and enjoyed spending time with him, this was not the life he chose for himself: he had always been a dad who worked outside the home. I can see how being pretty much forced into a stay at home dad with 8 kids and a public tv show in your face constantly would drive a person nuts. Then his wife - who isnt the most patient or nicest person on the face of the earth - suddenly becomes an author and starts going on book tours and publicity tours and leaves the day to day parenting to him? Well, I can see some resentment creeping in. I think they never looked down the road to what the whole TV life would be like 5 years down the road. They didnt foresee that they would live with camera's nonstop and no privacy. Paparazzi? They asked for it. They wonder why camera's follow them all the time? Well its because they are John and Kate plus 8! They caused this. They get paid for this. They cant get mad about it now because they signed up for it. If they didnt want it they could have had a small little blurb in the newspaper 5 years ago and america would have gone on and forgot about them. [/QUOTE]
